By way of a short introduction:

I am an Emily, I'm quite short, I love pasta and all things yellow. Last book read: This Earth of Mankind.

Accolades are mentioned above. Otherwise, I am also a Queen's Scout (shoutout to anyone completing this during the HSC, I know how tough it is!), a lover of public speaking and debating, an in-the-car singer and embarrassing dancer. I went to a non-selective Catholic school in Windsor (Western Sydney). That is important, because I know that this time last year, to hear that success is determined by your own passion and dedication would have made Trials a lot less stressful than they were. 

Ask any and all questions you may have in relation to your HSC year, or even, about the University of Sydney. I am currently studying English and Government subjects in my Arts degree, and Law. 

Ask away!

Hi Emily! ;D

What was your personal preference for structuring your notes for the area of study?

And what do you like about your degree so far?  :)

Hi Emily, what techniques would you suggest using when analysing a non-fiction text in paper one section one?

Thanks  :)

Hi Emily,

Just wondering whether you had any techniques for Paper 1 in terms of timing (which section did you do first) and also with Modules

I was also wondering how you memoriesd your Extension Creative and whether you learnt quotes for every prescribed text or just picked two and hoped for the best (I do After the Bomb btw)

Also how is English at uni, compared to at school. I am thinking I may dabble in it.

Thankyou so much :)
